All who praise God with unaffected joy give back to us the wisdom we destroy. 2 God is our song, for Jesus comes to save; while praising him we offer all we have. New songs we sing, in ventures new unite, when Jesus leads us upward into light. 3 This is the song no conflict ever drowns; who praises God all human wrath disowns.
